Strengths: Imformitive articles are written for adults to be read by adults.

Weaknesses: Dropping issues every now and then

Bottom Line:

Excellent magazine. Lets you know whats good and whats not in a readable manner. Does not treat its readers as though we're all under 15 as most do in th UK. Hopefully this magazine will go from strength to strength.

Strengths: Well written, informative, aimed at true mountain bikers, not play bikers or kids who next month are into somthing else. Accurate equipment reveiws

Weaknesses: poor subscription service (you recive it days after its out in the shops)

Bottom Line:

The only decent bike mag in thr UK, plus I got a free pair of De-feet socks from an offer in the first issue. I subsribed afetr issue one, it is that good. Much like the old MTB pro, and there are a few names (Brant Richards, John Stevenson) that keep cropping up. Now where have I heard those names before? Only 4 stars because by the time I get my copy through the post, I've already read it in WH Smiths

Weaknesses: maps only for UK (natch), expensive, no A-Z bike list at back

Bottom Line:

MMB, as other reviews state, is more adult (20+!) in tone than other UK mags, which is good, but it still has the same 'jokey' photos which are kept to a sensible number, unlike MBUK, and MBR to a lesser degree, which are a bit tits 'n lager mags. The reviews are good, but it needs an A-Z list at the back of bikes and bits. The pull out maps would be great if they had an utility here! How about maps of places visited like the recent trip to Cuba? Excellent quality print and pictures, why are US mags which are full of ads on every page such sh!te quality?

Strengths: Informative, Good articles, Great read, Doesn't consetrate on one area or price bracket, Adult orriateted

Weaknesses: Could be bigger. All routes tend to be in Scotland/Wales and not where the majority of the population lives.

Bottom Line:

This is by far the best magazine for 20+ riders in the UK. The others seem to concetrate on jumping and this weeks trends and are moving towards BMXing every month. Every one who rides properly must read this mag at least once. You will read it every month after that.

I have bought every issue of this magazine since it started and have not missed one. I really love the repair section of the magazine and the way they spent a little extra on the coated paper. If you're working on your bike and you get some grease on one of the pages you can just wipe it clean with a damp cloth. I collected all the magazines and now have an excellent repair manual. The magazine also does a good job of keeping all classes of rider in mind. They do product testing on some everyday bikes for the average person and some of the elite products as well. I recommend this magazine to everyone. It is however, a little expensive but I realize that it has a long way to travel to get to Canada and that is also why all the issues I get are a month behind. It is still worth the $10/month I spend.If anyone from MMB is reading this, please tell everyone there to keep up the good work and congratulations on a very great magazine.

Great mag,i hope that it would keep it`s readers in UK because i buy it regularly in my country of kiosk nearby me!I also like the way they test their bikes plus that they test ordinery bikes too and not just ELITE bikes with full XTR & Chris King bits.
